In the 2nd round of the UEFA A-League, the Netherlands and Germany played an exciting match on September 11th, and ended up shaking hands with a 2-2 draw. After the match, Dutch soccer star Van der Vaart spoke highly of the performance of the two young talents in the team - Brobeyi and Hraffenbach, believing that they are the key contributors to the undefeated performance of the Dutch team in this match.
Speaking about Brobeyi, Van der Vaart could not hide his appreciation. He said: "In the first half of the game, Brobbey was a revelation. The precise pass from Fiebruchten, Brobeyi stopped it perfectly with his chest and instantly became the fulcrum of the team's attack. His running, catching and shielding of the ball were all of a very high standard, giving a glimpse of a rising star forward full of potential. It was truly amazing to see how he remained calm and efficient in such a high-intensity confrontation."
And van der Vaart was equally impressed by the play of Hrafenbech. Van der Vaart made special mention of a stunning long pass delivered by Hrafenbech during the game: "That pass that found Harvey Simmons straight from the back of the net was an unparalleled masterpiece. It cut through the heavy defense and found the feet of his teammate with precision and was the best pass of the entire game. This kind of long, precise pass is extremely rare in soccer and best demonstrates a player's vision and technical skill. This goal by Hrafenbech has undoubtedly earned him extremely high praise."
Van der Vaart also praised Hrafenberg's development at Liverpool: "Hrafenberg's potential has been fully realized at Liverpool. His style of play is both solid and creative, his passing is natural and fluid, as if he has everything under control. He is the kind of player who can make the game easy and is a great asset to the Dutch team to have such a young talent."
